Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded the DeKalb Housing Authority a formula grant of $1,015,015 under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) effective April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2030. This award provides capital funding to support modernization, development, and management improvements to public housing units within the Authority's inventory. The Capital Fund enables eligible activities including infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or acquisition of additional public housing units, as specified in the Authority's approved 5-year action plan or approved for emergency work and disaster recovery.

The Public Housing Capital Fund operates as a formula-based allocation program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide that manage nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Award amounts are calculated using established formulas reflecting each agency's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application processes. The DeKalb Housing Authority, as a prime grant recipient, must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System while administering these capital improvements to serve low-income residents in its jurisdiction.
